Re: henry cooper (ali 1) vs tyson fury
Fury would stand in front of Cooper with his hand straight, putting a palm on Henry's forehead.
Cooper, with his head being stuck to Fury's palm, would alternately windmill his arms.
This scene would last for about 6 rounds, until Cooper started to bleed from both eyebrow areas and the fight got stopped.
Muhammad Ali would watch this bout and afterwards he would change his name to Mong An, fly away to Vietnam and disappear in obscurity.

Re: henry cooper (ali 1) vs tyson fury
Cooper never could get over the hump of being British or European level. Every time he did he lost. Fury hasn't been British or European level since 2012.
As others said before it's very difficult to imagine a man who weighed basically 185 pounds being able to do anything against a man who is not only 6'9" and 250+ but is actually athletic and skillful with a high ring IQ.
Fury could very well stop it in one round if he wanted to but I suspect he plays around a bit and stops Cooper in the 4th or 5th round, kind of like what he done with Sefer Seferi who was 210 pounds and basically European level at best.
Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all

Fury would out-jabbed and out-punched Sir Henry to stop him on a cut in 8 rounds.

Maybe that huge Cooper left landed right on-the-button inside the first 90 seconds....it was a shot of note, did damage.
Taken cold like that it would have had Fury on queer street.
Beyond that rather tiny window....all the roads lead to a Fury victory and potentially with most of them suggesting a quite easy night's work for the Big Man.
